COMBINATION CONTAINER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 4, 1922.

Application led December 27', 1920. Serial No. 433,469.

To all r11/tom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, S'rANLnr A. JAnosKr, a citizen of Poland, residingat Holyoke, in the county of Hampden and State of Massachusetts, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Combination Containers,of which the following is a specifica-- tion.

The main object of this invention is the provision of a combinationcontainer for toilet use, which may be carried about at will and whichwill atall times furnish the user with a number of toilet utensils orarticles as may be desired.

The above and other objects will become apparent in the descriptionbelow, in which like-named characters of reference refer to like-namedparts in the drawings.

Referring briefly to the drawings, Fig. 1 is a side elevational view ofmy device, partly in section.

Fig. 2 is a front elevational view 'of the same with the mirrorcontaining plate removed.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view of said mirror containing plate per se.

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the entire device, partly in section,with various parts eX osed.

eferring now in detail to the drawings, the numeral 1 represents thehandle of my device, to which is secured, integral therewith, the body2. Said body 2 is hollowed on one side to provide a relatively largecompartment 2a, and on the other side to provide a relatively small.compartment 8a, the latter having a cover 3 hingedly attached at 4 tosaid body.

A channel-like compartment 5 is provided in the handle 1, extending intothe compartment 2a, andtherein a comb 6 is adapted to be retained. Atthe inner end of said com partment a spring 7 is secured, the purpose ofsaid spring consisting in urging the comb outward at all times. A cover8 is hingedly attached at 9 to the end of said compart ment at the endofthe handle l', and a ridge 10 surrounds the mouth of the compartment 5,said cover being adapted to fit about said ridge. One edge 11 of saidridge is inclined as. shown, and a spring clip 12, secured to said coveryat 13, is adapted to resiliently engage said inclined edge when thecover is closed so as to retain said cover in said closed position.

The compartment 2a is provided with a removable cover 14 having springfingers 15 adapted to engage the edges 19 of said compartment. A mirror16 is provided on the inner side of said cover. Within the compartment2aa number of parallel brush-holding members 17 are rotatably mounted inracks 18. When the cover 14 is in place, said members 17 are in thepositions shown in Fig. 2, and, when the cover has been removed, saidmembers may be rotated so as to bring the brush elements in position atright-angles to the body 2, whereby the device may be used as a brush.

The compartment 3a may be used for holding various small articles suchas, for instance, a nail file, a sewing needle, or the like. On thehandle 1 a member 2O made of strong wire and bent into the form shown,is pivotally attached at 21, and a coiled spring 22 normally urges saidmember against the handle. This member may be used as a bottle opener.

Thus it is apparent that I have provided a compact combinationcontainer, which may be carried about at will and will at all timesfurnish the user with the necessary articles which are carried therein.

I claim:

A toilet implement comprising a hollow flat body and narrow handle ofuniform thickness therewith, said handle having a longitudinal recessextendingfrom its outer end into the chamber of the body, a cap hingedat one of its narrow sides to cover the end ofsaid handle, an extensionformed with said handle for supporting and guiding said cap when closed,a spring carried by said cap engageable with said extension and a flatspring at .the lbottom of the handle recess adapted to partially expelan article entered therein when said cap is in an open position.

In witness whereof I aiiiX my signature.

STANLEY A. JAROSKI.
